5 Epic Adventures for Nature Lovers in Iceland
Iceland should be on every outdoor enthusiast’s wish list. The wilderness and unbelievable natural beauty is a joy to experience. The island offers a dramatic landscape of lava fields, black sand beaches, glaciers and icebergs.
The most convenient and cost effective way to get around Iceland is by hiring a car, especially if you can share the trip with friends. Navigation around the island is easy with only one main road called Route 1 hugging the coast, which is also known as Iceland’s ring road. There is a shopping Centre close to the airport where you can stock up on snacks for the trip.
Driving South East on the ring road from Reikjavik and with little effort, you can explore the excellent natural sights of the southern coast. There are plenty of B&B’s and homestays along the route.
